Good thinking, man.

I'm probably thinking too far ahead but I want to top these plants...what is the difference in yield between topped or fimmed and untopped.??

[velocityhead]

By NO means am I an expert, I've just been reading around like yourself. From what I've gathered, topping a plant is cutting the stem just above the first or second set of nodes from the top. This should discourage vertical growth and encourage more foliage growth. An untopped plant will continue to grow tall in the sun (perhaps a bad thing if you're in a semi-public area)

That sound about right to the rest of you?

Here is a good guide that I've read:

topping slows down verticle growth and forces them to bush out some, but they will grow verticle again soon and you will have two main tops instead of one, so you have 2 nice cola`s come harvest time, not sure if it increases or decreses yield.

I'm also going to lst at least two of these plants....even though it is my first time...why not shoot for more yeild, ya know? more practice...


picture updates later today

[c20h25n3oIsGood]

Here are the pictures for you folks...

Plant 1...looks like the leaves are still a little uneven...not really worrying.


Plant 2...is looking pretty fiiine.



Plant 3...I am very worried about this guy. I figure this condition is from getting pounded with rain, and also due to the large ferns that have now blocked the sun out from this little guy for a good portion of the day.
Oh well...


Plant 4 is doing pretty well, I think.


Now, because I am so worried about plant #3, I planted two more seeds, where it seemed the most daylight shines. I wonder if these will sprout...
I forgot to water them when I planted, but it has been raining a lot, and will continue to rain throughout the week, so I'm not so worried.


Enjoy guys

(Day 14 for 1,2,3,4) + (Day 1 for 5,6?)

good luck man i hope those work out for you!! theyre lookin pretty good except for the reject one....hopefully they grow nice and dank

[AugustWest]

good idea planting a few where the sun is... always good to have some backup man.

don't worry about that little guy.. there's always one runt in the bunch.

[c20h25n3oIsGood]

Yo dan, yeah man, thanks for the wishes. I hope they work out as well.

I'm not too worried, yeah some plants have to suck, and now I may have 2 more in it's place.

[doob3r]

trim the fern back from the runt and just be patient with it, like AW said there is always a runt, but it still could be a female and produce buds, so why not baby it?

That is a good idea, man. I will be doing that as soon as possible.

[eleven357]

Yeah good job so far!

Hope you have all femaleS!

I hope so too, man. It would be fine if even one of them was a female and I got a little bud out of this project. Thats all I'm hoping for really...

Six females would be insane. And very very awesome.

i wish my grow this year was simple and in one spot like that I have already put a lot of sweat/back ache and loss of sleep while working a full time job to keep putting plots of plants out But what we growers have to remember is all this work now is going to pay off when we have jars and jars of weed and will be able to smoke out anytime as much as we want year round.

[Dan Gleesac]

youve inspired me dude....im gonna buy some mids and plant whatever seeds i find....i just gotta find a good place to grow those bitches.....are your seeds from CPE's buds? or i could get a chops zip and make some brownies or some hash and keep those seeds......FUCK YEA...i just realized a great place to put them!!!!!!!!

Yeah haha I certainly hope so. Seeing as it's my first grow, I'm going to go about as simple as possible and let nature take it's course on these little green things.

Talk to Sara about the seeds...I just planted 2 from her fat ass bag of milliions of seeeeds. (thats what is in the new patch)
But yeah man the rest are from cpe. He doesnt have any bud but I believe he is re upping tomorrow.

Yeah man, growing weed is fun. Just throw them in the ground and let em live. The way I see it...why the fuck not???
